Taxis
The Barns is fairly isolated with no direct public transport access. Therefore a car or taxi is essential. Whilst we don’t want you to have to think about the end of the celebrations too soon, all taxis need to pre-booked well in advance. Anything after 6pm and you may struggle to get a taxi. Unfortunately, Uber doesn't like to come out that far!

Alternatively, the driver enters ‘The Barns at Lodge Farm’ into Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps, this should bring them straight to the venue.
